What does a Warden do?
As Prison Wardens, we are responsible for recruiting and training staff and ensuring that budgets are properly allocated. We draw up policies and regulations and ensure inmates are treated fairly. We ensure the efficient operation of prisons and fulfill administrative duties. We schedule disciplinary hearings and monitor other departments within the facility. Ensuring the prison operates at maximum efficiency and the staff is familiar with laws and regulations is one of our main responsibilities. We monitor staff and address performance issues when required. Working as Prison Wardens, we ensure compliance with prison safety and security procedures at all times.
